Mixing Day Seven : Outsider
Had some company in the studio for the mixing of "Outsider" last night; my friend songwriter Frankie Palmer, and Dave's Spread Radio Live co-host Gregg Simon.
This was a song I felt was just about perfect in it's rough mix version, so the final mix wasn't too different. The task with this song is in getting the delicate balance of all the Zeppelinesque acoustic and electric guitars to interweave just right.
Ryan told us that the studio we are in -"Studio B" is the studio that Michael Jackson made "Thriller" in. He says that Jackson felt that the only way to properly hear music back in the room was to lie on the floor. I'll have to try that tonight. After mixing, we next door for our nightly visit to The Virgin Cherry.
We are seven songs in, six left. Tonight we tackle the 800 pound gorilla that is "Night One".
disguised, so the crowd can't see my strategies and plans

Hehe, brilliant! It sounds like this album's gonna be a fuckin' monster!! I like.
Strangely, Michael Jackson doesn't look as scary in that photo as he does now.

I like all of these updates. I come here and read, go to 6767 and read...it's really exciting, though anticipation is building. Glad it's going well and it's great to read what you all think through it all. Keep up the great work.
By the way, a while back Dave played you singing "God only knows" on SRL. That was a good version of it Steve. Pet Sounds may be a little old (huuuh huum, along with some of us) but it's a great album. You did a good job.
